X is for X-tra bass

Like him or not, Simon Cowell knows music. His show, The X Factor, has been a catalyst for bringing undiscovered music to the masses. Now he has worked with Sony to develop headphones that are certain to draw attention for their striking looks and booming sound. The X headphones deliver powerful bass response for impactful sound that will ramp up the rhythm to keep you listening and moving. They may make you rethink just how low headphones can go.

A unique cable made for iPod® and iPhone®

The MDR-X10's benefits go beyond big sound. The flat cable minimizes tangles and is detachable, with an innovative, twist and lock feature to ensure the cable doesn't get pulled out. And the in-line remote lets you control your iPod, iPhone or iPad's music playback and volume with ease. The remote's built-in microphone is made for hands-free phone calls on your iPhone, and the remote provides volume and talk control as well for easy switching between calls and music. There's also a second standard miniplug cable included.

If it's not your music, you don't want to hear it

Though it may look like an around-the-ear headphone, the X10 actually fits on your ears, with thick foam earpads resting gently against your ears for a comfortable fit. The large earpads and flexible headband conform to your head's shape to provide excellent isolation from outside noise. Your music will be front and center when you listen, with external distractions effectively silenced for a highly involving listening experience.

The Sony MDR-X10 headphones feature a unique locking miniplug and jack to ensure your cable stays plugged in as you move about.

Product Highlights:

ported earcups for powerful bass response

3-button in-line remote provides volume and music controls for iPhone, iPod and iPad, as well as answer/hang-up controls for iPhone

Features

Overview: The Sony MDR-X10 headphones combine style,
comfort, and performance. The headphones have a stylish silver, red, and white
design with ultra soft ear pads and headband. The X10s have large 50mm drivers
with strong neodymium magnets, which provide a wide frequency response. The
headphones come with two tangle-free flat cables, one with an in-line
remote/microphone. When not in use, the headphones fold up for storage in the
supplied soft vinyl zippered pouch.

Cables: The bright red flat cables have a serrated finish
that reduces tangles. One end plugs into the left ear cup and twist-locks into
place. The other end has a 3.5mm miniplug, with a removable 1/4" adapter for
listening to your home components. One of the cables has an in-line
remote/microphone and a right-angled plug optimized for use with your
smartphone.

Remote/Microphone: The 3-button remote/microphone allows you
to raise and lower the volume, and the center button can control your phone
calls or music. The microphone is located on the opposite side of the 3 remote
buttons. The remote/mic is only 4" away from the left ear cup, so you don't have
to fumble with a long cable to find it. During music playback and phone calls,
the control function is determined by the number of center button presses:

One Press: Pause/Play; Answer/Hang Up

Two Presses: Skip to next track

Three Presses: Skip to previous track

Press and Hold: "Voice Over" feature (such as the
iPhone's Siri), if available

Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs

Comfy work companion

I liked the Sony MDR-X10 headphones. I found them comfortable for extended wear, and gave me no trouble at all with the temples of my glasses. The headphone seal around my ears felt snug but not so tight that they would cause fatigue. It created a nice, isolated environment where I could hear my tunes rather than my own tapping on the keyboard.

The MDR-X10 did an awesome job on the low bass notes, especially with piano and stand-up bass. The mids and highs were accurate in their range but didn't have the width that provides the illusion of listening in a room. One thing I especially liked was that even in pieces with lots of instruments, none of them got lost in the mix.

The headphone cord stayed out of my way and tangle-free the entire time I wore the MDR-X10s. The end that went into the ear cup actually locked in so it never went astray when I made a sharp turn to my drawer for a paper clip. At least in my office, these are great headphones for work.
